Vote’s In

Red buttons had it by a land slide. Too bad the little yellow ones didn’t photograph better. I don’t think they had a chance. But I will go with the decision of the masses. Or the five…as the case may be.

A test ‘Pretty Thing’ cowl (Stephanie Pearl-McPhee). A test article, yes, but wearable. I ran short of the original (yet a leftover) skein, but made do with another leftover bit. So Berroco Alpaca Light, and Mountain Colors around the edge. I was worried about the inherent big-noggins in ma famille, and made this one with an extra repeat. The next one, the for-real one, I probably won't, I think.

This yarn doesn't really show the pattern, which is lacey, but not terribly hard, even though I made most of the decreases backwards. Oh well. Still decreases! And that is what my test articles are for.

As for casting on things, I have a few on the needles of Iron. Check out my Ravelry Progress Bars in lieu of photos for now. A poor substitute, perhaps, but I am going to play the 'I have a cold' card.

(I know, I know...how hard can it be to snap a few shots and get them downloaded...and edited...and then uploaded? Easier, I warrant, than getting film developed, but I'm sick!!!!)

Darling little sweaters! I love the one with the reddy stripes! And that scarf looks wonderful. The pattern seems like it's really conducive to team colors. I'm seeing that easily added to my holiday knitting! =D
